SENATE RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Montgomery Independent School District on the |
|
|
occasion of its 100th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1837, Dr. E. J. Arnold and C. E. Clepper |
|
|
donated land to build the first public school in the burgeoning |
|
|
town of Montgomery; citizens established the Montgomery School |
|
|
Association in 1846, and the Texas Legislature in Senate Bill 441 |
|
|
formally established the Montgomery Independent School District |
|
|
on March 16, 1925; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Despite facing significant challenges in its |
|
|
first year of operation, the district gained widespread |
|
|
community support and began to flourish through its affiliation |
|
|
with the Texas Department of Education; the completion of Lake |
|
|
Conroe in 1973 brought a wave of development to the region and |
|
|
allowed the district to greatly expand its facilities and |
|
|
educational opportunities for the community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Montgomery Independent School District has |
|
|
grown from a single-room schoolhouse to a thriving educational |
|
|
system with 11 campuses that serve nearly 10,000 students, and it |
|
|
has preserved its fundamental small-town values while upholding |
|
|
a commitment to academic excellence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In recognition of its centennial year, the |
|
|
Montgomery Independent School District is honoring its proud |
|
|
history and paying tribute to the countless individuals who have |
|
|
contributed to its success over the past 100 years; the district |
|
|
remains dedicated to its mission of providing exceptional |
|
|
educational experiences that prepare students for rewarding |
|
|
futures, and it is truly fitting that it receive special |
|
|
recognition as it reaches this exceptional milestone in its |
|
|
history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the teachers, administrators, and |
|
|
staff of the Montgomery Independent School District on their |
|
|
commitment to quality education and extend to all best wishes for |
|
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the district as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
